    Looking past the mediocre puzzle and adventuring elements as well as the cinematic repetition, Last Day of June excels at storytelling – conveying emotion on-screen in a way few other games manage to achieve. The developer has admittedly done a sound job at making a title involving such depressing themes as beautiful as possible – through its unique animation, perfectly synced soundtrack and stunning visuals. If you do intend on playing this, the ending is as catastrophic as it is comforting.

    Last Day of June is a great example of how to turn a short tale into an engaging interactive experience, one that importantly does not overstay its welcome. There may be one or two frustrations along the way but, all-in-all, it tugs at the heart strings in the right places on the story front, and also engages the brain on the gameplay side of things enough to make everything feel extremely satisfying once it reaches its conclusion.

I like the notion of the intertwined stories; I like the mashup of Groundhog Day / DK64-we-each-have-different-skills / try-to-get-this-Rube-Goldberg-machine-working ideas; and of course, it's all visually beautiful. It's fairly tedious to play, though, and just generally not terribly well crafted as a game. Some really great ideas that didn't quite gel.… Full Review »

It's satisfying to reach the emotional climax, but the game is very, very short. What's worth noting is the great soundtrack by Steven Wilson, from the time before he started recording crap.… Full Review »
